“As we celebrate nine years in Guyana the importance of giving back is a priority on our list of activities.
“Our commitment to the less fortunate and vulnerable children is steadfast. In 2013 we completely rebuilt the Mahaica Children’s Home and since then we have continued giving back to homes and orphanages in Guyana,” Communications Manager Vidya Sanichara stated. The donation included food hampers, groceries, books, teaching aids, desktop computers, back packs, and small appliances, Digicel stated.
In addition, through a letter writing competition it put on, the company selected nine persons and granted wishes they requested in their letters.
The wishes granted included an eye test and glasses for a mother of a young lady who wrote in, a sofa set for a single mother of two who didn’t have one, two laptops for students who needed assistance, full tuition payment for nursing classes for one young lady, a Nikon camera, a shopping spree, a cell phone, a Valentines dinner for two and a donation to the Palms Geriatric home.
